Ah...I had not seen the last post on FA when I posted here. Those did help, but I guess I just need to see everything in person to fully "get it". From the post I gathered that I will need to take off the valve cover to see all of these marks...? I thought they were one the outside portion of the CAS. I was mainly confused about the location of all of these markings, but I guess we'll see what happens once I open her up! I haven't had time to really dig in there and look at everything (about to go out of town) so hopefully all will be cleared up!

One more thing....after talking to someone about retarding and advancing, I am still a little unsure as to which i should do. He told me that it is really a matter of preference-one gives you high end power, the other will give you low end power. Also, I see ppl on here asking how to do both...doesn't really seem to be a majority, unless I am overlooking something. Is one harder on the engine than the other? I really don't know which I would prefer, although I definitely like lots of low end power. Any suggestions?

OK, one more thing, then I'm done for now. After driving the sr around for a little bit, I still feel something may not be right. It's lmost like turbo lag...or like there's not as much power as there should be until like around 3500-4k rpms. All connections are fine, compression test was good....can't figure out what it might be. The turbo seems to be fine....sounds *GREAT* once I get into high rpms (I LOVE the sound of a turbo spooling!). I don't know if it just needs to be "broken in" or what. I have never driven or ridden in an sr, so I don't know how they usually feel. I can only compare to cars I have driven and this feels different. Maybe it's paranoia Anyone else experience this??

Thanks!!
